1 Kings 11:29-36

29And it cameH1961 aboutH1961 at that timeH6256, when JeroboamH3379 wentH3318 outH3318 of JerusalemH3389, that 1the prophetH5030 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888 foundH4672 him on the roadH1870. Now 2Ahijah had clothedH3680 himself with a newH2319 cloakH8008; and bothH8147 of them were aloneH905 in the fieldH7704.

30Then 3AhijahH281 tookH8610 holdH8610 of the newH2319 cloakH8008 whichH834 was on him and toreH7167 it into twelveH8147H6240 piecesH7168.

31And he saidH559 to JeroboamH3379, “TakeH3947 for yourself tenH6235 piecesH7168; for thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: ‘BeholdH2009, 4I am going to tearH7167 the kingdomH4467 awayH7167 from the handH3027 of SolomonH8010 and giveH5414 you tenH6235 tribesH7626

32(5but he shall haveH1961 oneH259 tribeH7626, for the sakeH4616 of My servantH5650 DavidH1732 and for the sakeH4616 of JerusalemH3389, 6the cityH5892 whichH834 I have chosenH977 from allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478),

33becauseH3282H834 they have abandonedH5800 Me, and 7have worshipedH2331 AshtorethH6252 the goddessH430 of the SidoniansH6722, 8ChemoshH3645 the godH430 of MoabH4124, and MilcomH4445 the godH430 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983; and they have not walkedH1980 in My waysH1870, doingH6213 whatH3477 isH3477 rightH3477 in My sightH5869 and keeping My statutesH2708 and My ordinancesH4941, as his fatherH1 DavidH1732 did.

34Nevertheless I will not takeH3947 the wholeH3605 kingdomH4467 out of his handH3027, but I will makeH7896 him rulerH5387 allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH2425, for the sakeH4616 of My servantH5650 DavidH1732 whomH834 I choseH977, whoH834 keptH8104 My commandmentsH4687 and My statutesH2708;

35but 9I will takeH3947 the kingdomH4410 from his son’sH1121 handH3027 and giveH5414 it to you; that is, tenH6235 tribesH7626.

36But 10to his sonH1121 I will giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626, 11soH4616 thatH4616 My servantH5650 DavidH1732 may alwaysH3605H3117 haveH1961 a lampH5215 beforeH6440 Me in JerusalemH3389, 12the cityH5892 whereH834H8033 I have chosenH977 for Myself to putH7760 My nameH8034.
